462 The Coins of Europe D'Ambusson (1476-1 503), and Emery D'Amboise (1503- I 2) added the double zecchino and the silver variety with the paschal lamb and flag, together with the earliest copper denari. It was during the rule of Philippe de Villiers de 1'Isle Adam (1521-34) that the seat of government was transferred to Malta ; and this master was the first whose portrait was placed on the currency, and moreover on a sequin (or zecchino) of a novel type and on a faro, a new silver denomination which, with its multiples, continued in use down to the close. On the other hand, the Rhodian gigliato and aspro did not survive the removal westward. The cinquina, the carlino, and the grano, followed the new sequin and the taro at intervals, the two former in silver, the last the copper unit, and all . borrowed, like the gigliato itself, from Sicilian types. Some of the masters struck pieces of 2, 4, 10, 12, and 20 gold sequins, and several of the later scudi and mezzo-scudi of 30 and I 5 tari, usually with a portrait. The sumptuous and well - executed gold money of the eighteenth century is of heavy fabric, and is still of common occurrence. 1 In forming a selection for the cabinet, some of the earlier gigliati and aspri are desirable. The zecchini are, as a rule, extremely common even in unworn condition, but are almost invariably ill struck. 2 On the other hand, the silver and copper pieces seldom occur in good preservation, and many are absolutely of great rarity. Furse values some of the gigliati and aspri at from 2000 to 200 frs. Even 3 and 4 tari pieces of 1680 are estimated at 200 frs.; they belong to the time of Gregorio CarafFa (1680-90), who was under such fortuitous circumstances transferred from a prison to a throne. Probably the figures furnished by Furse might be exceeded in some cases, as the foreign standard of condition is lower than the English certainly than the present 1 A few years ago the Government of Malta sent over to England a hoard of these handsome coins, which were sold at Sotheby's Rooms, but fetched only the value of the metal. - Finds of these sequins are occasionally reported. A considerable number were sold in London within a short period. They were, for the most part, of masters who are plentifully represented.
